The left is in meltdown over President Trump exercising his constitutional authority to revoke ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance.

CNN reported that former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper was incensed by Trump’s action. Naturally, it was CNN who reported it. After all, Clapper is one of their employees, as are a number of other Obama ex-intelligence hacks.

In a July interview, Clapper said he thought he and his fellow leftists were being targeted by Trump. “The bigger issue to me is the jeopardy to First Amendment rights,” Clapper said. “That, to me, is the much bigger issue here where we’re being suppressed or oppressed because of our outspoken political views or criticism of the current president.” read more

The other night on his radio show Mark Levin made a great point about security clearances.

For the past few days and well into the future, the left has and will continue to wail over John Brennan being stripped of his security clearance.

All the hacks, including many Obama era intelligence buffoons, who by sheer coincidence now work for CNN, the Collusion News Network, have tried to convince whomever they can just how essential it is for former intelligence officials to retain their clearances in order to be able to advise their successors. The left is treating the privilege of being granted access to top secret material as some sort of right in perpetuity.

Let’s not discuss that it is the right and ultimate responsibility of the President to approve, vacate or revoke clearances.

Let’s instead concentrate, as Mark suggests, on just what the former intelligence geniuses did when they were part of our government, with full security clearances and unfettered access of all the worldwide intelligence at their disposal. read more

Guest Post by: John Velisek USN (Ret.)for the Common Constitutionalist

CIA officials, including the upper echelons, are required to be apolitical. The main purpose of the CIA is to gather intelligence on America’s enemies abroad and guarantee the safety and security of the citizens of this country. The administration of CIA chief John Brennan came nowhere near meeting this standard.

Brennan used the CIA to lie for political ideological goals. This was shown earlier when Brennan used the CIA to conduct illegal surveillance on the Senate Intelligence Committee and then lied about it.

This is the same Brennan who coerced the FBI into investigating the sham of Trump-Russia collusion using the unverified Steele dossier. In Brennan’s own words: “Just because it is unverified doesn’t mean it isn’t true.”

This is the same Brennan that lied about NSA surveillance of American citizens and only avoided a perjury trial because he resigned, and the statute of limitations ran out because of obfuscation from the Obama administration. Brennan even had the audacity to proclaim he just gave the “least untruthful answer.” For anyone else, a lie like this would land them in jail. But the Obama administration and the sycophantic media ignored this crime, once again.

The administration of the CIA under the orders of Brennan operated as an offshoot of the Hillary campaign. Using spies and connections in England and Estonia, Brennan weaponized the CIA with phony intelligence obtained through these sources in his attempt to delegitimize the Trump candidacy. The goal was to cause maximum political damage to conservatives by utilizing a multiagency smear campaign that has led the government to end up in a sham of a Special Council investigation being used by the leftists to affect the midterms. read more

from the American Spectator:

John Brennan Misses Communist Russia

John Brennan’s anti-Trump tweets grow more and more maniacal. His latest tweet holds that Donald Trump’s Russian diplomacy in Helsinki “rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was nothing short of treasonous.”

That tells people all they need to know about the unseriousness of the left’s impeachment drive, not to mention exposing once again the demented malice behind the Obama administration’s spying on the Trump campaign.

The unhinged criticism is also hilariously rich, given that John Brennan, who supported the Soviet-controlled American Communist Party, meets the textbook definition of a useful idiot for the Russians. read more

Bobby Jindal had it right: the GOP is truly the stupid party. Sure, stupid is better than corrupt and deceitful, like the Democrats, and at least stupidity will get good results sometimes, albeit accidentally. But man, Republicans sure do have their share of moments of naïvete.

While Senator Rand Paul was speaking on the Senate floor for 13 hours to filibuster the nomination of John Brennan to lead the CIA, there were twelve of his Republican colleagues dining with President Obama at a fancy restaurant.

One particular member of the Stupid Party, Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, lived up to his party’s name, saying that he believes Obama’s invitation to dinner is a sign that Obama truly does want to end his partisanship. Oh, Tom, bless your heart. (By the way, Coburn was one of the twelve).

“I think he gets it,” said Coburn, “and I think he’s genuinely reaching out. I think the president is tremendously sincere. I don’t think this is just a political change in tactic. I think he actually would like to solve the problems of the country….” Continue Reading

Only in today’s United States could this be possible. Only under the watchful eye of the Obama administration and a Senate asleep at the switch could such a man even be nominated let alone possibly be considered for confirmation.

I’m speaking of John Brennan, Mullah Barack’s choice to be the new CIA Chief. Talk about being thrown out of the frying pan into the fire. Replacing the disgraced outgoing chief David Petraeus, who resigned after it was revealed he had an affair with his biographer, with this guy.

Islamists throughout the world must be cheering this decision. Why do I say that? Well it appears Mr. Brennan is, according to reports, a convert to Islam.

A Moslem as the CIA Chief. That sounds about right for this administration. While we’re at it, how about Malik Zulu Shabazz, leader of the new Black Panthers, as the new head of the administration civil rights department.

John Brennan served as CIA chief in Riyadh Saudi Arabia in the 1990s. Former FBI agent and top expert on Islam, John Guandolo said that it was between 1996 and 1999 that Brennan converted.

It was during his time in Saudi Arabia that Brennan said he, “marveled at the majesty of the Hajj and the devotion of those who fulfilled their duty as Moslems making the pilgrimage.”

He was reported to have visited both Mecca and Medina with Saudi officials, which is strictly off limits to non-Muslims. Other US government officials, who were in Saudi Arabia at the same time, said they witnessed his conversion.

Agent Guandolo, not only former FBI, but a combat Marine veteran, created the FBI’s first counterterrorism training and education program and has received two investigative intelligence awards. He has been warning all who will listen, of the infiltration into our government of the Muslim brotherhood. “Brennan’s conversion to Islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him, to recruit him. The fact that foreign intelligence service operatives recruited Mr. Brennan when he was in a very sensitive and senior US government position in a foreign country, means that he is either a traitor or he as the inability to discern and understand how to walk in those kinds of environments, which makes him completely unfit to be the director of Central Intelligence.”

Guandolo has also authored “Shariah; The Threat to America”, a key Center for Security Policy report.

Agent Guandolo contends, “that Brennan is wholly unfit for government service in any national security capacity and that would specifically make him unfit to be the director of the Central intelligence agency.”

Is it just me that thinks we live in bizarro world?

Guandolo continues, “He [Brennan] has overseen and approved and encouraged others to bring known leaders of Hamas and the Muslim brotherhood into the government in positions to advise the US government on counterterrorism strategy as well as the ‘War on Terror ’. Brennan has proven through his own comments publicly, that he is clueless and grossly ignorant of Al Qaeda’s strategy. He is just naïve, foolish, dangerously ignorant and totally unfit for this position.”

So it seems this administration is working on a trifecta. First we have the haughty Vietnam War hero who falsely accused his own fellow soldiers of war crimes, as Secretary of State. Although Kerry is thought to be pro-Israel, his views on Israeli settlements echo the radical rhetoric of Arafat, Abbas, and Salem Fayyad. He also asserted that Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is an “issue” and insisted on classifying the West Bank as an occupied territory.

The second in our trifecta is the rhino Republican Chuck Hagel, another anti-Israel stooge, as the potential Secretary of Defense.

And to round things out Obama nominates John Brennan, convert to Islam, promoter of Hamas and the brotherhood, for CIA director.

We have nothing to fear, but fear itself, unless you’re our closest ally Israel or like the rest of us, infidels.

Wow! The hits just keep on coming with this administration! I feel safer already.

Jihad a ‘Legitimate Tenet of Islam’

Monday, President Barack Obama picked top counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to become the next head of the CIA. Brennan’s views on radical Islam may concern hawkish Senators who will scrutinize Obama’s choice for CIA chief.

Monday, President Barack Obama picked top counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to become the next head of the CIA. Brennan’s views on radical Islam may concern hawkish Senators who will scrutinize Obama’s choice for CIA chief.

In May of 2010, Fox News reported Brennan defended Jihad as a “legitimate tenet of Islam.”:

The president’s top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,” arguing that the term “jihadists” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.

During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in “religious terms.” Continue Reading
